While some users wish for a longer range and a built-in battery, the overwhelmingly positive feedback centers on the device's ease of setup and superior audio performance compared to Bluetooth alternatives. The convenience of using WiFi for audio streaming is also frequently highlighted.

    It's ok, but I would have rather purchased a WIFI and not a Bluetooth, it drains the battery faster

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    If you're not wanting to spend a ton of money on a Sonos "system" then these are for you. Get any speaker with amplification and an input, and you have music where ever you put them. I currently have two Google Homes in my house and I put this in my bathroom. Just say "Hey Google, play <artist> or <song> etc on all devices and I have music throughout my home. Great product!

    Chromecast Audio works well at allowing whole house audio and for playing music in individual rooms. The biggest complaint is it's issues with Spotify. Sometimes my phone won't connect to the device even after selecting it multiple times or I will be unable to press the play button even though it says it's connected. These are intermittent issues and only occur sometimes. I haven't searched for or found a solution yet.

    The Chromecast audio is extremely handy, to send audio from either your phone or a Google home device to any audio device that accepts aux input through a 3.5 mm (headphone size) jack. Or if you only have RCA style (red/white plugs) adapters are cheap and easily available. I think it also outputs through SPDIF optical but haven't tried yet.
